For energy conservation, turn your monitor OFF when it is not needed, orwhen leaving it unattended for long periods. The PowerSaver system operates with a VESADPM compliant video card installed in your computer. Use the software utility installed onyour computer to set up this feature.

InformationFor Better Display

Adjust the computer resolution and screen injection rate (refresh rate) on thecomputer as described below to enjoy the best picture quality. You can have anuneven picture quality on screen if the best picture quality is not provided for TFT-LCD.

• Resolution: 2048 x 1152

• Vertical frequency (refresh rate): 60 Hz

TFT-LCD panels manufactured by using advanced semiconductor technologywith a precision of 1ppm (one millionth) and above is used for this product. But thepixels of RED, GREEN, BLUE and WHITE color seem to be bright sometimes orsome of black pixels could be seen. This is not from bad quality and you can useit without any problems.

• For example, the number of TFT-LCD sub pixels contained in this product are7,077,888.

When cleaning the monitor and the panel outside, please apply the recom-mended small amount of cleaner by using a soft cloth to polish. Do not force theLCD area but rub softly.

If excessive force is applied, you may stain it.

If you are not satisfied with the picture quality, you can get better quality ofpicture by performing the "Auto Adjustment function" in display screen that isappeared as window termination button is pressed.

If there's still noise after the automatic adjustment, use the Fine/Coarse adjustmentfunction.

When viewing a fixed screen for an extended period of time, a residual imageor blurriness may appear.

Change the mode to energy save or set a screensaver to move the picture whenyou need to be away from the monitor for an extended period of time.

PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)

LCD Monitors and TVs may have image retention when switching from one image to anotherespecially after displaying a stationary image for a long time.

This guide is to demonstrate correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them fromImage retention.

Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

What is Image retention ?

66

During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. How-ever, if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electriccharge accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal.This may cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus,the previous image is retained when switching to a new video image. All displayproducts, including LCD, are subject to image retention. This is not a product de-fect.

Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention.

Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode

Ex)

• Turn the power off when using a stationary pattern.

• Turn the power off for 4 hours after 20 hours in use

• Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use

• Use a Screen saver if possible

• Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.

• Set the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.

Suggestions for specific applications

Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems Werecommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below:

Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle.

Ex) Cycle : Display Information for 1 hour followed by a Display Logo or movingimage for 1 minute.

Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors).

Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.

Avoid using a combination of characters and background color with large differencein luminance.

Avoid using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.

• Avoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)

Ex)

Information

67

• Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance

• Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes

Ex)

• Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.

Ex)

The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC orSystem to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it.

Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal con-ditions.

Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When theLCD panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), theremay be slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal(LC) in a pixel. The voltage difference between electrodes increases with time,forcing the liquid crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seenwhen the pattern is changed.

To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased.

Dot Pitch The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and bluedots. The closer the dots, the higher the resolution. The dis-tance between two dots of the same color is called the 'DotPitch'. Unit: mm

Vertical Frequency The screen must be redrawn several times per second inorder to create and display an image for the user. The fre-quency of this repetition per second is called the VerticalFrequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz

Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per sec-ond, this is regarded as 60 Hz.

Horizontal Frequency The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to theleft edge of the screen horizontally is called the HorizontalCycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is calledHorizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz

Interlace and Non-InterlaceMethods

Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top tothe bottom sequentially is called the Non-Interlace methodwhile showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is calledthe Interlace method. The Non-Interlace method is used forthe majority of monitors to ensure a clear image. The Inter-lace method is the same as that used in TVs.

Plug & Play This is a function that provides the best quality screen forthe user by allowing the computer and the monitor to ex-change information automatically. This monitor follows theinternational standard VESA DDC for the Plug & Play func-tion.

Resolution The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to composethe screen image is called the 'resolution'. This number
